(23R,23¹ S,25S)-23¹,26-Ep-oxy-23-ethyl-furost-20(22)-en-3β-ol.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C₂₉H₄₆O₃, is a steroid synthesized through a rearrangement of a sarsasapogenin derivative in acidic medium. The newly formed ring F is a tetra-hydro-2H-pyran heterocycle substituted by two methyl groups placed in equatorial positions. This ring displays a chair conformation, while di-hydro-furan ring E, to which it is bonded, has an envelope conformation. The mol-ecules are associated by weak O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form chains running in the [101] direction in the crystal.
